*siiiiiigh* I hate the YouTube uploader with smash4 . So appearly the last video will not upload. So its a dual parter instead of a trilogy.

Third video was just 3 minutes of me chucking shadow balls at him till he backslashed off the edge, then I spiked him.

Did you notice the lack of music between 1:04 and 1:08? They need to fix this feature :/

Try playing around more and see if your habits and playstyle still works on other opponents or better ones (depends). If it ain't working, try making some changes.

And yeah, Cosmo is really good with Zelda. Lol. I remember watching his Zelda back in Melee (It was amazing stuff)
The thing that threw me was that my habits and play style do work on other players. I thought about it a bit and I found that I'm really at a loss on how to deal with good defensive games. I do fine against more aggressive players, but I seem to struggle a lot in neutral with the more defensive ones. So I guess that's the main thing I have to work on.

Shulk v Shulk on Gaur Plains, with Mechanical Rhythm as bg music? That's just too perfect.

Like that guy a couple of pages back said, Backslash off a cliff is the new meta. We're all just not ready to open our minds to this complex and intricate new tactic.

As a Yoshi main (I say this facetiously being the casual trash I am), I'm curious to know how Shulk plays against Yoshi. I haven't seen him mentioned as a big problem like Sheik is, so I'm assuming Yoshi's not a big deal? I also have no clue what's going on in the Sm4sh metagame as a whole, last I checked Diddy was top tier and now he's apparently nerfed, so please go easy on me and my ignorance.

Yoshi is my 2nd most played match-up. Just behind Link. Then there's Sheik at 3rd

I think Shulk can handle Yoshi well. Any art works against Yoshi but speed is your safest bet ofc. Buster works fine too (it's the art I always start with against Yoshi). Eggs can get a bit annoying but it's not that hard to bypass if you powershield through it, or use speed or jump art. B-air and even f-air work wonders against Yoshi and his egg camping game. The match-up is honestly kind of straight forward. Just out-space Yoshi, shield his aerials, get around the eggs with mobility arts or powershielding, and combo him while you're in speed, jump, or buster art

As for the metagame, Sheik is top tier. No one beats her. Diddy was nerfed hard from the recent patches but he's still solid. Not top 10 though (I'm sure of that)

So yeah

It's actually possible to beat anyone on FG by not doing anything
Yes. I was :4shulk: and I fought a :4metaknight: who used his Side-B and I shielded it the first and second stock and they lost without me doing any damage

OK I'm starting that backslash only challenge now. This is gonna be fun.....

Progress so far. I killed myself on the first backslash... Then I destroyed the ryu to get my self esteem back.

Second fight. OK this takes too long without arts so I'm gonna say its not possible with going into sudden death. But I did it...yea.

Anyone got any challenges? I'll do any challenge from for any character besides rosalina and luma.

Wait I thought the Decisive Monados only made the buffs stronger and made the nerfs the same as Vanilla? Is there video proof?
I was under that impression as well.

You can test it yourself.

Decisive Monado Arts in comparison to regular Monado Arts:
+ Increased buffs
+ Lasts 5 seconds longer (25ish seconds) and the cooldown is shortened 5 seconds (5 seconds)
- Increased nerfs
- Can't switch to another Monado Art until current one naturally runs out

Special moves don't count, don't try to cheese us with Rising Uppercut

Edit:

So apparently Decisive Speed lowers jump height more than Vanilla Speed. Weird.

Yooo good **** Kenniky

That's weird as **** but, ah well. The art is still good anyway

Buster and jump art's defense nerf doesn't change at all with DArts. Speed art's jump height is changed. I guess. Idk about the rest though. I'm not really sure if Decisive shield's mobility nerfs are magnified

Wtf Sakurai. Lol

I just tested it. The jump is indeed shorter, maybe due to ground speed affecting it?. However the Decisive Arts do not increase nerfs. As I was doing the same amount of damage in speed as I was in Decisive speed but not as much as I was doing in Hyper speed.

KO someone on For Glory with one of Little Mac's aerials. Good luck.
You can actually gimp some characters who have poor/mediocre recoveries using Little Mac's aerials. It's usually not that hard to land, given that most people don't expect Little Mac to chase them offstage. Landing an offstage kill as Little Mac is always extremely satisfying :p

@ AlvisCPU AlvisCPU What's your HR in MH4U? We should hunt sometime!
I near-solo'd my way to G-Rank, so in over 200 hours I'm about G2 :laugh: had about similar play times with 3 and 3U. Including those games, the last time I played I got my first Rare 9 (and first purple-sharpness) weapon, a Seregios Greatsword. It's beautiful ;_;

Ooh nice :D MH fans over here, yay!

I spent so much time soloing MH3U that I kinda got exhausted and didn't feel like doing the same in 4U. Although I have completely beaten the single player quests including the G rank quests except one, The Master's Challenge, the one with 3 Apex monsters -_-

Although I have reached Special G rank online so I have started to solo again since it feels so much more satisfying. Although I am getting whooped by Apex Rajang and Rusted Kushala Daora..... Completing my Insect Glaive and Charge Blade collection will be tough. Seregios is also pretty annoying to solo at G rank so I doubt I would be making that Sere GS (although I do have the rare 6 variant) anytime soon.

I still have to get Smash though >.< so can't experience that at the moment. I really wanted try the Bonado Monado Arts.

My cousin (who coincidentally mains Ike in Smash 4) and I have ourselves in G1 of MH4U. We played the heck out of MH3U back in the day, and I ended up with like > 600 hours of play time. No ragrets.

So apparently you'll be able to choose between American and British voice acting! I welcome this!

I'm mostly still gonna go with American since it will be more immersive, but I wait and see which one I like most.

Edit: Wait, I may have been mistaken... I think they meant it will be a mix of both. Still good.

For Xenoblade X? Do you happen to have a link to where they announced this?

Decisive Jump also has a lower jump height than regular Jump, maybe due to difficulty making things exact when raising Decisive Jump's jump height to account for the increased fall speed (which lowers jump height). Either that, or they did it on purpose.

Usually, the pattern is Decisive arts have buffs which are improved to exactly halfway between regular and hyper arts, while debuffs are not increased. I'm not sure why Decisive Speed has a lower jump height. Well, actually, it was probably deemed to be a good thing to have lower jump height. Kind of makes sense to me, for combat reasons rather than recovery reasons. However, rest assured that decisive speed does have a better recovery than regular Speed due to its improved air speed.

The only other questionable decision is probably Decisive Jump's increased fall speed. It does make you more susceptible to being combo'd vertically I guess, but helps in regards to avoiding KO's from the top blastzone and punishing opponents.

That's a pretty sweet thing they're doing featuring both US and UK English voices. Better to keep the fans of the original game's VA direction happy, while also including American English dubbing to appeal to those that weren't fans of the British voices.

Welp...I have a bad jab, tilts, dash attack, and n-air......you are evil.

Progress on no pikmin challenge. I got him up to 107%. I'm not doing this again.

Progress on little Mac air kill challenge. Laggy match against a mewtwo.....NOPE!

That's good to know. It'd make the game's cast of characters more seem and sound more distinct and varied which I'm definitely all for

The best songs on Xenoblade chronicles in my opinion are.

The main theme
mechanical rhythm
Unfinished battle
engage the enemy
That song in the swamp
Zanza.
"That song in the swamp"

All I can think now is some kind of Shrek-Xenoblade remix.
I would look for one because there's probably one out there, but I am at work and I might get some weird looks.
